hahaha I loved the drones and the overlords

1 - Try changing the power supply. 2 - Try changing the HD. 3 - If none of the above helped, probably it is time to change DVR.

You are indded a nerd...! It does work ok also in Libre Office.

On Win7 you might try running IE as administrator; otherwise it might not have access for storing files on whatever directory you are using for downloads. Find IE shortcut on the start menu, right click on it, and "run as administrator". Can't help with Win8, haven't used it.

Mmmmh same happened here with all my Hikvision devices. I tried the "chrome://flags/#enable-npapi" thing, but it didn't do it for me, I had to go with "IE tab". Edit: well, it does seem to work from lan, but not from wan... weird.

You can plug them anywhere in your lan.

You can. I have actually seen baluns specific for HDCVI, I did try them too, but I did not appreciate any difference from a good analog balun.

You might want to check if someone near you distributes I-Vision cameras. They manufacture in China and EU (Romania). http://www.ivisioncctv.com/en/index.asp Their Starlight and Moonlight cameras are awesome, I would say they are the best low light-no leds cameras I have seen.

Current DS-7732 units have I think 200mbps incoming bandwidth and 80mbps outgoing bandwidth.

Ok, TalkTalk is your ISP. Make sure you have opened the ports on the right section on the router config, or if there is a DMZ section, try puting your DVRs IP on the DMZ.

Well, if it was working before with the other router, it does have to do with the new router. If it had to do with ISP blocking traffic on the RTSP port (or another one), my guess is that it would have also not worked with the previous router.

Sorry about that, but it was indeed pebcak related Glad you got it sorted out.

Go to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and check if there are any services listening on those ports, 80, 554 and 8000. Some routers do not like accepting connections on port 80 from the outside, it is a good idea to change it. But iVMS-4500 does not use the web port, so it should actually work anyways with just the ports 554 and 8000 forwarded.

It works every time. Where you say "you can't zoom in", you should be saying "I don't know how to zoom in". This is clearly a case of PEBCAK.

It is always better to give them static IPs.

We do sell NVRs with integrated POE; but we never use them ourselves in our installations. Always external POE switches.

Hikvision calls it "Hikvision-C", check out the first screenshot. http://www.securamente.com/hdtvi-como-usar-el-osd-en-las-camaras-que-lo-soporten/ With Hikvision DVRs you can access the OSD menus with either "menu" or "iris+". I have actually only used HDTVI with Hikvision units, so I can not tell you about TVT.

Make sure your PTZ settings on the DVR are ok.

It should also say so on the sticker on the box.

You are probably not configuring it right on iVMS-4200. You have to use the SDK port, not the web port.

You might have to rewire, if your current RG59 cable sucks. It depends on many factors, the quality of your current cable, the cable lengths, if you are using 720p or 1080p video, ...

You can reuse the old wiring and go with HDCVI or HDTVI cameras, that will allow you to go up to 1920x1080.

That will do if you do have a static IP.

Then the problem is not with hik-online, but with your ISP, and whatever proxy method they are using. If http://www.whatismyip.com/ detects xxx.xxx.13.171, so will hik-online, and any other DDNS method you try to use (dyn.com, no-ip, etc). Do you have static IP? If so, just use always xxx.xxx.13.4 for connecting, and forget about the hik-online domain. If it is not static, ask your ISP how much they charge for static IP and consider geting it. And do not bother with meye. iVMS-4500 works fine, the problem you are having is with your public IP, you will have it fom a web browser, from iVMS-4500, and you would have it with any other method you tried to use.
